Self-signed certificate for ePOS printers
ePos printers are designed specifically to work with your Point of Sale system, which sends the tickets directly to the printer.
Some models don’t require an IoT box, but the connection between your web browser and the printer may require a secure connection with the HTTPS protocol. If so, a self-signed certificate is necessary to use your printer.

Generate a Self-signed certificate
Access your ePOS printer’s settings with your web browser by navigating to its IP address, for example, http://192.168.1.25.
Note
The printer automatically prints the IP address during startup.
We recommend assigning a fixed IP address to the printer from the network router.
Go to and create a new Self-Signed Certificate.
Common Name: the IP address of the ePos Printer, for example,
192.168.1.25Validity Period:

Create and reboot the printer, go to , and check if Selfsigned Certificate is selected.
